(All statistics based on U.S. data)
Reasons given... Consider...
“Crashes are rare events” 36700 crashes occur every day.
The more we drive, the more we
are exposed to “rare” events, even
for good drivers. 1 in 4 of us will
be seriously injured in a crash
during our lifetime.
“I’m not going far” 3 of 4 fatal crashes occur within
25 miles of home.
“Belts are uncomfortable” We design our safety belts to
enhance comfort. If you are
uncomfortable - try different
positions for the safety belt upper
anchorage and seatback which
should be as upright as possible;
this can improve comfort.
